2023 Nascar Cup Series

[fieldodreams79]

Goofy late yellow for the truck race. Overtime.

[fieldodreams79]

Larson takes the truck win.

The North Wilkesboro facility looks really good.

[fieldodreams79]

"Stockcars" now . The Open underway at North Wilkesboro. They're actually using the concrete apron today....

[fieldodreams79]

Love the fact they left the Winston Cup Series logo on the back side of a building. Go ahead and clear coat that patina for a feller.

[fieldodreams79]

Best words ever uttered by Chris Meyers....when cutting to a shot of Michael Waltrip, The King and DW; "There's a couple of legends and Michael Waltrip."

[fieldodreams79]

Bowyer and DW are too much in the booth together. Add Larry Mac and Mike Joy this is just waaaaaay too much. I'm going MRN.

Is no one else here watching this???!

[fieldodreams79]

Kyle Larson just kicked everyone's ass. And I'm fine with it.

Kyle's wife shotguns a beer in the winning interview with Kyle. Is NASCAR back?

Watched, but delayed.

Needed a caution

Throttle control! That looked fun. I don’t really know much about the track, but I could feel it.

This is kinda cringe, as the kids would say....

After the Xfinity race Saturday on the Chicago street course, NASCAR is requiring all Cup drivers to appear on the concert stage prior to The Chainsmokers concert (the concerts in the park are part of the weekend ticket) in hopes of getting them in front of a likely new audience.

Penske wins the 600 and the 500 in the same weekend for the first time ever.

Congrats to Ryan Blaney!!

[Adam43]

Impressive. Did you see they changed his parking space at Indy from number 18 to 19!?

I see it was another race another fight.

[broadrun96]

Ole Denny doesn't quite understand the physics of using another car as the corner when the wall is right there it seems. Just another reason there are FARRR too many "reporters" and too many idiots willing to blame the other guy every time

[fieldodreams79]

Looked a bit suspect with both Boyer and Smoke saying Chase dumped him, which Denny deserved but not in that way. I will say that after Chase slammed off the wall is car did veer a little right before it went left and hooked him there's at least an "excuse". Something broke, will be the defense and since the rest of it is broke, they'll really never know unless Chase admits it.

Ha! That's awesome!

I had someone ask me if NASCAR is encouraging the confrontations to get the clicks....

[fieldodreams79]

And the verdict is swift, and probably, warranted. Chase is parked for next week. He probably didn't want to go to St Louis, anyways.

Corey LaJoie will fill in for Chase.

This is going over like lead zeppelin

I can't wait for Kid Rock to shoot down a stock car to pieces... :P

Kyle beat out Denny and Kyle yesterday.

If you missed it and I think you missed what NASCAR used to be. That track made for some great side by side racing on a pure oval. I used to not like flat track racing for NASCAR much but I've since changed....

The brake failures were a little scary; pretty high speeds towards the end of the straights with no where to go... Thank goodness for soft walls are there one be couple not racing for a few weeks.

Toyota WEC driver and team manager Kamui Kobayashi will run a Toyota Genuine Parts sponsored #67 23XL entry for the Cup Series Indy road race.

Should be interesting. Heard Mike Rockenfeller on RLM today talking about how difficult it is, knowing that he's a quick road racer, to be competitive against the full time NASCAR guys.

Just caught up and saw today, I enjoyed it a lot.

I'm guessing those failed brake parts are a common part for several cars to have the same issue? Scary, would not want that at the speeds these things go. Bad manufacture or underspecced parts or bad setup or what?

I think Kamui is a good driver, he's a fairly small man like most Japanese so I feel hustling a big NASCAR car around is going to be hard work for him: kudos for trying it out and good luck to him!

[NaBUru38]

Nascar uses power steering since the 1980s, so that should be no problem.
